What is the best oil to use in a 2009 BMW N54 engine

[louisodwyer]

Hi all,
I want to change the oil in my 2009 BMW X4 35i N54 engine.
I have everything except the oil!
I live in France and am looking at buying SHELL Helix, Ultra ECT C3 Huile moteur
5W-30, Capacité: 4I, Huile synthétique (2 containers @ 4l each)

Any comments on this, is it OK?

Many thanks!!

Shell oil is fine Louis, you don’t hear of any issues, they’ve been doing it for donkeys years.

Nice E89 you have, looks a cracker in white.

Castrol titanium edge in mine, its OEM spec.
Just make sure that whatever you put in matches the requirements stated by BMW.
